Volume One, Chapter Four: Either Leave or I'll Break One of Your Hands and Throw You Out

Boom—

The moment those words were spoken, the crowd suddenly erupted in chaos.

“Is this for real? Isn’t this incest…”

“Lower your voice! Don’t let President Qiao hear!”

“Oh my god, if this is true, how can that family ever get along again?”

“Haven’t you heard President Qiao say? It seems Vice President Lu also has an illegitimate child…”

“…”

Lu Tingye’s gaze darkened with malice, his aura chilling and terrifying. “Lu Qian, mind your tongue.”

Lu Qian’s legs trembled in fear.

“Uncle, I—I…”

“I’ll give you two choices: either leave on your own, or I cripple one of your hands and throw you out.”

“I—I’m leaving, Uncle, I’m leaving.”

Lu Qian gritted his teeth in pain and hurriedly spoke.

Only then did Lu Tingye release him, his face still cold.

Lu Qian, wary of Lu Tingye but furious at heart, spat out bitter words.

“Qiao Ye, you scheming woman! Just wait, whatever belongs to me, I will take back!”

With that, he angrily smoothed out his wrinkled suit and turned to leave.

Fuming, he returned to the hotel. When he saw Yuanbao and Chu Yuner, his expression softened somewhat.

Chu Yuner was feeding Yuanbao.

Seeing his disheveled state, a flicker of disdain crossed her eyes, but she still greeted him with a smile, “Qian, you’re back.”

Lu Qian walked over and rubbed his forehead wearily.

“Yuner, today didn’t go as well as I imagined. Qiao Ye is holding onto the company tight; I might have to tussle with her for a few more days.”

He tugged at his tie in frustration.

“Also, she actually has an illegitimate child with another man. We haven’t even divorced yet! She’s so restless and shameless!”

“Ah?”

Chu Yuner was shocked. “How could sister do such a thing? That’s so unfaithful! But I think she must have her own reasons, so don’t be angry.”

Lu Qian pursed his lips in silence.

To be honest, he shouldn’t be angry over this.

After all, he had no feelings for Qiao Ye.

Yet, for some reason, he was inexplicably bothered by it!

In his mind, Qiao Ye couldn’t do without him!

She was the kind of woman who should have waited for him faithfully, even if he disappeared for five years.

But…

She already had a child.

“And that child was actually brought here by my uncle.”

“You mean President Lu from Xinghai Group?”

Chu Yuner’s voice nearly broke from shock.

Xinghai Group was not only famous nationwide but also held considerable prestige abroad.

One reason she followed Lu Qian back was to meet President Lu from Xinghai Group.

If only she had come along earlier today!

It would have been a chance to see the legendary President Lu.

“Yes, but I think there must be some misunderstanding. How could my uncle be interested in a woman like Qiao Ye?”

The thought became more impossible with each passing moment.

“I think so too. President Lu’s status is so high... Besides, isn’t Madam Lu still around? How could she possibly allow her son to be involved in such an improper relationship with her grandson’s wife?”

Chu Yuner grabbed Lu Qian’s hand. “For now, let’s not dwell on the childI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
